Time to let go of a really clean, nice small bore Kanstul horn.

It’s a non-standard 1555: 7 ½” yellow brass bell, but instead of a nickel silver slide it has a light brass slide with a brass crook. It also has a nickel silver tuning slide. The hand brace is straight instead of curved.

It plays very much like a Kanstul – warm, velvety sound, but good power and brightens up when pushed. Very smooth, fast slide, in excellent alignment.

The horn is basically in like-new condition, blemish-free and dent-free. Comes with an SBK case.

It takes interchangeable leadpipes. Comes with a single H6 pipe. That’s a medium-throat Burt Herrick style pipe, as originally made for the Williams 6.

Pictures are here: <LINK_TEXT text="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/u4lsm2u49wxi ... luWLa?dl=0">https://www.dropbox.com/sh/u4lsm2u49wxikpi/AADWt4v02X7mIo06EN3dluWLa?dl=0</LINK_TEXT>

I’m happy to take more photos if there’s anything in particular you want to see.

Asking $1100 shipped CONUS.
